Pro Football Free Picks
Buffalo at MIAMI (48')
By Big Mike Tompkins, Featured Handicapper
A 6-run first inning held up last night for the Tigers, as I cashed in my 40 dime run line release on Detroit at +105 in their 7-4 win over Colorado.
It's time for some football!

With all of the distractions going on with the Miami Dolphins, I am going to pass on the NFL game tonight, and instead turn my attentions to this non-conference clash from San Marcos.
This winner gets the long football weekend started.
Anytime the Miami Dolphins are involved in a game in which the temperature is above freezing, my immediate inclination is to look to the Over as the play for the total.
True, Miami did NOT land Over the total in their Sunday season opener at home against Jacksonville, but part of me wonders had there not been the incident involving Tyreek Hill before the game to distract them from the actual game itself, would the Dolphins have posted a few more scores?
We saw the Bills in their season opener against the Cardinals combine for 62 points in a game that landed well Over the posted price. Dating back to last year Buffalo has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the posted price.
Series history sees 3 of the past 4 meetings and 6 of the last 10 overall between these division rivals having landed Over the posted price.
Last Thursday night most total players scored with Over 46 1/2 points in the Ravens-Chiefs primetime meeting. Friday night's Packers-Eagles primetime game landed well Over the total, while Sunday night's Rams-Lions game did hold Under the total, but the primetime card concluded with another Over as the Jets and Niners climbed Over the posted price.
Primetime Week 2 will start with another offensive shootout. Play the Bills and 'Fins Over the Total.
4* BUFFALO-MIAMI OVER
Las Vegas at BALTIMORE (-9')
By Jackson Reyes, Featured Handicapper
COMPLIMENTARY SELECTION: My free winner for Sunday is the Baltimore Ravens over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Worst thing that could've happened for the Raiders is having the Ravens lose they way they did in Kansas City last Thursday. They're not going to be happy, they'll have had extra time to prepare, they're catching the Raiders on the second of back-to-back road games, and most importantly, they're getting a team that looked troubled and miscommunicated in Inglewood against the Chargers on Sunday.
Outside of Maxx Crosby, I don't think there is anyone who can put some fear into Lamar Jackson. I don't trust the Raiders' defense, which allowed the Chargers one too many big plays in the second half. That won't work against Jackson, in the home opener.
Baltimore is going to steamroll here, and pull away for a double-digit win.
